All 33 Wrestlers To Be Seeded At 2019 NCAA Championships
All 33 wrestlers in each of the 10 weight classes will be seeded at the 2019 NCAA championships in Pittsburgh.
A major change is coming to this year's NCAA championships in Pittsburgh, as every wrestler will now be seeded. Below is the official release from the NCAA.
Indianapolis, IN -- All 33 wrestlers in each weight class in the Division I Wrestling Championships will be seeded, starting with the 2019 championships.
The Division I Competition Oversight Committee approved the proposal during its in-person meeting last week in Indianapolis.
Seeds 29-33 may be assigned randomly to the brackets but will always be paired with the top four seeds and assigned to all pigtail matches. The Division I Wrestling Committee believes the weighted selection criteria provide a clear and consistent quantitative process, enabling the committee to effectively seed the entire bracket.
The modification also will produce more balanced brackets and removes random matchups.
This change was recommended when the Division 1 wrestling committee met back in April. The document from that meeting can be found below.
